Big revelations are on the horizon for Coronation Street fans as a star discloses which character is determined to bring down the nefarious Joel Deering. Actress Cheni Sterling-Brown, who plays DD Bailey, has confirmed that her character is on a mission to expose her duplicitous fiancé Joel in upcoming episodes.
DD is increasingly suspicious of Joel after her ex-wife Emily warned her not to trust him. Determined to get to the bottom of Joel’s deceit, DD investigates a bracelet he claimed to have bought for their infant daughter, Ma. When she finds no trace of such jewelry, DD digs deeper. Using a search engine, she discovers a jewelry shop linked to the bracelet and begins to uncover unsettling truths.
Initially, DD suspects Joel might be playing mind games, but her search leads her to a receipt from November and eventually to a jeweler that reveals a connection to Lauren Bolton. DD’s investigation brings her to Weatherfield General Hospital, where she learns Lauren is planning to move to Belfast—coincidentally the same city Joel supposedly visited for work.
Realizing the coincidence, DD confronts Joel, but he quickly masks his anger and manipulates the situation. Cheni Sterling-Brown describes DD’s struggle to gather concrete evidence against Joel, noting that Joel is a masterful liar and manipulator. Despite small revelations about Joel’s true nature, DD understands the need for solid proof while remaining cautious of his deceptive abilities.
As DD delves into Lauren’s abduction, she becomes increasingly determined to bring Joel to justice. Sterling-Brown reveals that DD’s drive is not just personal but stems from a deep fear of discovering the full extent of Joel’s malevolence. DD’s quest for justice serves as a distraction from her own emotional turmoil and lingering feelings for Joel.
Meanwhile, Callum Lilly, who plays Joel, has shared his bittersweet emotions about leaving the show. Callum admits that saying goodbye to the role is a mix of excitement and sadness. He reflects on the challenging yet rewarding experience of portraying Joel, praising the show’s environment and his fellow cast members. He explains that Joel’s ability to hide his true nature and manipulate those around him is central to the character’s dark appeal, a reality that many victims of abuse and manipulation unfortunately experience.
Callum describes the intensity of Joel’s actions, revealing that the character will go to great lengths to protect his secrets. The actor confesses that playing Joel has been a daunting yet fascinating experience, given the dark places the character ventures to conceal his wrongdoings.
